MOP design problem with multiple slot options? 1 42 (3/17/2006 12:32:46 PM) comp.lang.lisp I'm wondering whether this is a MOP design flaw: (defclass foo-1 () ((slot-1 :new-slot-option (list :quux :bar)))) (defclass foo-2 () ((slot-1 :new-slot-option :bar :new-slot-option :quux))) I... Tayssir

Lazy eval systems 2 51 (2/10/2006 8:09:20 AM) comp.lang.lisp Hi, For personal interest, I'm looking for either lazy eval systems for Lisp, or some opensource projects which make nice use of it. (That ideally I can run on say Mac+SBCL/CMUCL, though it's not necessary if ... Tayssir

Shortcut for defclass 1 47 (2/2/2006 6:27:01 AM) comp.lang.lisp Hi, What do people use instead of specifying DEFCLASS slot options, when they really don't care yet about the details, and just want sane defaults? I have my own macro for this, but I'd like to use something m... Tayssir

Bunch of old books/papers at Computer History Museum 2 39 (5/24/2005 10:28:26 AM) comp.lang.lisp Paul McJones announced yesterday that he's offering Lisp info online at the Computer History Museum: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/view/725 So for example, they've put online some book I had to order int...

Managerial-oriented tech? David Nobles. 17 26 (11/5/2004 3:16:27 PM) comp.lang.lisp Hi all, I'm waiting David Nobles's book to be delivered, which talks about the two forks in the road that technology could have taken. One was to increase managerial control; the other was to put tech in the h... tayss_temp2

Scheme implementations with dynamically scoped vars? 5 31 (9/16/2004 4:02:19 AM) comp.lang.scheme Hi, Does anyone know which Scheme implementations give one the option of using dynamically scoped variables? I do not mean as a replacement for lexical, just an added feature. I could not easily find a list ... tayss_temp2

continuing next iteration 12 26 (9/2/2006 6:08:30 PM) comp.lang.lisp Trying to skip the rest of the body inside a loop. Is there nothing like "continue" in C or "next" in Perl? All I could find was either go to a tag at the end of the body or return from a block or function ... randomgeek (299)

Too Much Caffeine 38 33 (9/3/2006 7:02:43 PM) comp.lang.lisp I claim that Lisp will rise again - and sooner than later, it will do so from an unexpected cross between knowledge and end user programming. As computation infuses nearly every aspect of the modern world, the ... jshrager2 (333)

Is Programming Boring? 93 38 (9/6/2006 3:12:24 PM) comp.lang.lisp In another thread Tim Bradshaw repeatedly claims: "programming is *hard* and *boring*" I'm okay with "Hard" because it's relative to your skill level, so I know that he's wrong from the outset. But I've never e... jshrager2 (333)

Could CL achieve the performance of Erlang's multiprocessing model? 10 25 (9/12/2006 2:31:00 AM) comp.lang.lisp Did anybody have any idea how to implement _lightweight process_ efficiently in Common Lisp? Just like the model adopted in Erlang. IMHO, it cannot be implemented efficiently in CL because: 1) Process switchin... hadeshuang (27)

Question about Lemonodor (still pro-Lisp?) 6 40 (9/12/2006 2:58:57 AM) comp.lang.lisp Is Lemonodor still pro-Lisp? Or is it sort of gravitating toward other technologies, and just remembering Lisp as a rather quaint, esoteric language that doesn't fit as well with modern technology compared to ... j_mckitrick708 (81)

Fast Run-time String Interpolation 6 25 (9/16/2006 4:26:10 PM) comp.lang.lisp After many months of not doing anything, I'm working on my Common Lisp port of blosxom. I've got it in a roughly working version, but I've found a few bottlenecks. One was searching the disk for entries--I ma... eadmund42 (519)

Definition of Software Engineering 7 28 (10/13/2006 10:01:05 AM) comp.lang.lisp Hi everyone. I wrote this article about the Definition of Software Engineering, and I touch a few scheme/lisp concepts about half way through the essay. I'm a scheme (and CL) novice, so if anyone would like, co... drewyates36 (4)

Why is Lisp attacked on Reddit almost as often as Republicans? 83 29 (10/27/2006 6:33:15 PM) comp.lang.lisp I'm not interested in political debate, but why is Lisp attacked so often there? Is it because Reddit started out running on Lisp, then switched? ... j_mckitrick708 (81)

At pain of repeating myself, another nooby exercise from "In the Trenches With Kenny" 11 21 (11/7/2006 8:20:53 PM) comp.lang.lisp Gotta keep the kiddies amused (without turning the damn thing into a game) so how about some random sound effects every time they do something good (or bad)?
